    This is my favorite song from Extreme. I love it and loved the reaction, thanks! Nuno (lead guitar) is the one that blows me away with his technical ability in this group but Gary's hips are a close second. I was introduced to this band through Queen. Extreme are huge Queen fans! They performed a set with bunch of Queen songs as tribute to Queen during the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert which is when I first became aware of them. You should check it out. It's a nice tribute. Extreme is still touring today.

      Their Queen medley was the best part of the concert for me. The other day groups did one Queen song and then 2-3 of their own. Extreme did 13min+ of high energy medley, then "Love of My Life" then "More than Words". They got more audience engagement than anyone else. The only thing that came close was "Somebody To Love" at night, when the audience did the 6note drop.

    Very much an underrated band. They've sold 10 million records and a lot of people don't know any of their stuff. Their second biggest hit is another "ballad" called Hole Hearted which DEFINITELY needs a reaction. Other great songs are Kid Ego, Decadence Dance, Rest in Peace, and Stop the World. Loved you're reaction to this one. Would love to see more.

Don't Leave Me Alone off of Extreme 3 is a great ballad.

As a VH super fan I would have loved to see the band do one more album, I really think it would have been a good one. I guess we will never know.

    True story: my sophomore year in high school there was some seniors that had a local cover band. The drummer's dad was the HS band director. One day the principal let them set up on the front steps during lunch and play a few songs. This was one of the songs they played. Before they started they stressed that the song was "Get the FUNK out... not that other word" 😂

    Yay! Nuno Bettencourt, Gary Cherone (wonderful voice!) and Extreme!!! Outstanding!
    Nuno is considered to be one of the greatest guitarists (by his peers and those in the know) of all time. For those of you Nuno fan boys and girls (or even if you have no idea who he is do yourself a favour), check out the Rick Beato UA-cam channel’s interview with Nuno.
    Rick interviewed Nuno shortly after Extreme’s song “Rise” came out. The interview is extensive, going into Nuno’s development as a guitarist, how he learnt to play and guitarists he admires end emulate (although he has developed his own very unique style). He talks about his conception of being an artist and a performer, and his approaches to playing the guitar. His devotion to his art, his character and charisma, and the sheer joy and enthusiasm he exude is quite something.
    Rick Beato (professional multi-instrumentalist and music producer) also has a shorter video which sets up the longer interview by talking about the buzz and anticipation in the music world when word got out about Nuno’s guitar work in “Rise”. Watch the shorter video first: Rick builds up the anticipation of how he heard about and then heard this song. He was blown away, recognising the virtuosity and having to admit that he (as a guitarist) could never come anywhere near what Nuno is doing.
    Both videos are fascinating and engaging, listening to to professionals get lost in the discussion of the craft. I have to admit, I fell a little in love with Nuno and rushed to listen to “Rise’, more Extreme and more of his other work.

      You couldn't have expressed what I thought better. I subscribed to Rick Beato's channel right before he featured Nuno and "Rise" on it. But it was Rick's interview with Nuno that sent me to the "Rise" video and I was immediately mesmerized by his playing and went and searched for all things Nuno and Extreme. I'm still checking out Extreme's back catalogue and Nuno's projects outside it.
      The funny thing that happened in my search was that Nuno turned out to be that hot gorgeous guy with the long black hair that I remembered back in the day. I didn't connect him with Extreme or "More Than Words:"
      I highly recommend the interview. Nuno is captivating, passionate and funny. And I learned a lot. I had no idea the level of influence Eddie Van Halen had until Nuno said "Edward" as he calls him, changed the game for guitar playing for his generation. His reverence for Eddie is really sweet. Hope Jay and Amber watch this interview. And while they're there they should check out Rick's interview with Sting, who I know they love.

    This was '90 and they just released a new album earlier this year. As always, Extreme has the variety, check out "Rise" for the guitar, "Other Side of the Rainbow" for something more laid back and pop-ish. "#Rebel" and "Banshee" are somewhere in between. Amazing they can rock now as hard as they did 30+ years ago.

    This made me smile. I love this band!! I saw them in Cleveland back in '89 just before this album came out. Kid Ego from their first album is great, we all know that guy, lol. But, to go along with your other channel, when you finally watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Extreme's song Play With Me is the song played during the mall scene. The song is a very complicated one to sing and Gary sang it hanging upside down from a pipe that was over the stage. They are amazing live!!! The drummer, Paul Geary played a solo that gave most of us a leg cramp. Nuno does a solo he calls Flight of the Wounded Bumble Bee. Pat Baker, the bassist ❤❤❤. This was one of my favorite bands from the 80's. They are well rounded and all are equally talented. It's a shame they were found so late.
